ADD VOICE (SPEECH) CAPABILITY TO YOUR ASP.NET

Adding speech functionality to your site is so easy using the COM API available in the SAPI has a text-to-speech engine (TTS).

Mind you every machine with Windows XP has SAPI and TTS.

All you need do is to add a reference to a COM dll available in Microsoft Speech Object Library.

The dll's name is Interop.SpeechLib.dll

Namespace declare your dll as using SpeechLib;

Create a text box that will contain your text, add a button that will trigger the voice conversion as shown below:


protected void btnVoice_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SpVoice voice = new SpVoice();
try
{
voice.Speak(spText.Text, SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
}

QED. You are done now. Just make sure your speakers are on and you have got the right volume.

PublishingAssociatedContentType

The Content Type to be associated with a page layout is indicated by the 'PublishingAssociatedContentType'. In the actual sense it means a binding setting between the Page Layout and the content type. If you fail to provide one, the SharePoint framework will make use of the Page Content type. The format of the binding is: ';# e.g. ';#ContentPage;#0x010100C568DB52D9D0A14D9B2FDCC96666E9F2007948130EC3DB064584E219954237AF3900470b13dd348649d08f9e5151501df9a4000dbd46dad8d045f98c83ad983b66d3f2;#'. where Content Type name: ContentPage Content Type ID: 0x010100C568DB52D9D0A14D9B2FDCC96666E9F2007948130EC3DB064584E219954237AF3900470b13dd348649d08f9e5151501df9a4000dbd46dad8d045f98c83ad983b66d3f2 respectively.
